My statement — template (case your case reference)

The People's Family Court is a private family-mediation service, not a court of law. Your co-parent and mediator will read this. Calm, honest, child-focused.

1. About our family (~150 words)

Children, ages, current living and contact pattern. Factual, dated.

2. What is working (~100 words)

Start positive — what already works for the children?

3. What is causing problems (~300 words)

Specifics: what happened, when, effect on the children. No insults. Harm that must stay confidential belongs in the separate safeguarding box, not here.

4. What the children need (~200 words)

Routine, school, feelings as you observe them.

5. What I would like the mediator to do (~150 words)

Concrete outcomes, ranked first to last.
